PUNCH MAGAZINE
OCTOBER 1852
Punch Magazine articles and cartoons often made jokes about the dangers of rail travel. ‘The Railway Nursery Rhymer’, Punch, 9 October, 1852, told children of the horror of a real railway journey. In it, Punch takes four nursery rhymes and gives them a train theme. Ride a Cock-Horse and Little Bo-Peep looks at the danger of slow trains. Hush-a-by Baby explores the 3rd class experience and the potential for an accident when faster trains pass slower ones. Dickory, Dickory, Dock is about a train crash.
